COX, MARK ANTHONY, 52, of Louisville, returned to his Heavenly Father suddenly on Good Friday, April 18, 2014. Mark was born on November 4, 1961 in Brodhead, KY. He was the devoted pastor and shepherd of Highview Church of God. Mark had a godly calling on his life at an early age and has been devoted to Christian ministry for the past 25 years.
